pg_restore error with out of memory
I am going to restore a 6 Gb database in my development machine which is
running on Centos 5.6 with memory 1 GB.
During restoration I got error as follows:
LOG: checkpoints are occurring too frequently (22 seconds apart)
HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter
"checkpoint_segments".
pg_restore: out of memory
pg_restore: finished item 8570 TABLE DATA entity

I set postgresql.conf as -

maintenance_work_mem = 300 MB
checkpoint_segment = 10 # as the disk space is limited
fsync=off
autocommit=off
The backup was takes at Postgresql 9.2.3 and I am going to restore at
Postrgesql 9.2.1.
During error my OS status:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1024 975 48 0 3 857
-/+ buffers/cache: 114 909
Swap: 1027 0 1027
Please let me know what could be the actual cause of the error.
Thanks.

You have 1024 MB total RAM.
You seem to be using 114 MB of that before starting PostgreSQL.
You have PostgreSQL configured to use 128 MB of shared buffers,
which is only part of its shared memory.
You have configured 300 MB per maintenance_work_mem allocation.
There can be several of these at one time.
You are running pg_restore, which needs to use memory to interpret
the map of the dump and dependencies among objects.
You are using more memory than you have.
If you really need to run PostgreSQL on a machine with 1GB of
memory, you need to use a configuration much closer to the default.
Don't expect performance to be the same as on a larger server.

I modified the
shared_buffer=50 MB
and
maintenance_work_mem = 50 MB
But still getting the same error.

I hope you restarted the PostgreSQL server? If so, pg_restore might
just need more RAM than that machine has to deal with that
particular database. You might try a text dump, loaded by psql
instead.
